I know that there is a little buzz around the idea of Ashland Kittens coach Bill Bradley taking over the boys program, I for one think that this would be a great hire. With that said, Bradley may have one of the better jobs as a girls coach in the area and may have no interest.

Would be a great hire but not sure it will happen.

Good thing Dean Smith didn't coach at AShland. Only won two National Championships in 36 years.

Won 11 regional championships in those 36 years. That's one in a little over every 3 years.

A loooooonnnngggg time ago. Times have changed. Kids have much more stuff to occupy their time now. You act like no other school in the region is trying to get better or develop kids. You don't want to admit it, Ashland isn't the top dog, and hasn't been for some time. You guys ran off a very good basketball coach. It appears Smith has/will turn(ed) you down. Stop living in the past.

 

Oh, and just for curiosity's sake, how many MS games will the new coach be required to attend? Just so he knows....

Why don't you actually try reading my post instead of just throwing out false information. Or do you just like to listen to yourself talk? I didn't run off anybody. I went to as many Ashland games as Biggs did grade school games. I already threw my support for the job to Bill Bradley. He already knows the kids names at the grade school level.

Were you thoe one who said Ashland should've won a regional title in the past 8 years? Did you criticize him for not attending MS games? If so, then I stand by my post.

 

And is Bradley interested in the job?

You said "You don't want to admit it, Ashland isn't the top dog, and hasn't been for some time."

 

You show me one time where I came anywhere close to saying that, and I'll apoligize and say you're right.

 

If you can't I'll anxiously await your apology.

 

No I didn't criticize him for not attneding middle school games. You stated a coach needs to be given the opportunity to build a program from the bottom up. Like spindoc stated you need to invest some time and effort in the feeder program if you want to do that. That's why I asked the question of how many grade school games do you think he attended over the past 8 years.

 

As for Coach Bradley. You seem to know everything already. You tell us.

Wow, I guess I didn't know how outstanding old Buddy was. Mr. Viking has me convinced he's John Wooden. Please, Swift, send a memo down to Buddy and tell him you were just kidding.

Your statements about "winning a region in 8 years" and "11 regions in those 36 years " are clear proof, at least to me, you believe this Ashland to be the Ashland of old.

 

You asked a RHETORICAL question about the number of MS games he attended as if it was some indictment upon him. How involved do you want him to be? Is he supposed to attend every practice and game to build a program? Most places, the HS coach has some input as to who runs his MS program. He then trusts that person to do the things he wants. Admittedly, most do attend a few MS games but the ones I know don't put a ton of stock in merely attending games to build a relationship with kids. They do that in open gyms (inviting MS kids to participate) or camps. After all the HS coach has a family and a day job to deal with as well.

 

You are the one who threw Bradley's name out there. Not me. Sounds like you're stirring the pot.

He is a good coach. You'll have a hard time getting better. If you can't recognize his abilities, that's on you.

I saw Coach Biggs at some 7th grade games this year. Just saying.

He is a good coach. You'll have a hard time getting better. If you can't recognize his abilities, that's on you.

 

I never said anything at all about his abilities as a coach. I think a coach should be connected to his entire program while you seem to think it's stupid. But hey, that's on you.

If Smith turns the Tomcats down who is left standing?

Your sarcasm was duly noted..

 

An didn't say it was stupid. Just not a huge deal, as it is apparently to you.
